Friday Favorites #6

hosts this meme, Friday Favorites. I use this opportunity to highlight and feature some of my favorite illustrators.

This week I am spotlighting one of my new discoveries. Nicoletta Costa! She has illustrated some of my kids’ favorite books and I love her simple, adorable style. I don’t have a bio for her because her website is all in Italian (I think), and I just had to click around without knowing what I was looking at.

I love the way she can take a few simple lines and give them so much expression.

I discovered Nicoletta Costa when I started reviewing children’s ebooks for Kite Readers. She has illustrated quite a few of their classic stories and my kids just love her artwork. Her style is so sweet and calming. It’s perfect for picture books!

Her artwork looks so familiar! I think it's the cats nose… Where do I recognize her illustrations from!!!?? Ugh. I've looked up a bunch of kids shows but I can't figure it out. Anyways very cute <3 I love the witch with her head stuck in a book.
